ATA Airlines announced today that they’re going belly-up as well. If you’re keeping count, that’s three airlines in a week. Keep in mind that none of these airlines have been solid performers, so it comes as no surprise here. Frankly, I’m waiting to see if any of the big carriers start to flounder.

ATA had some new aircraft, but they did have a bunch of old DC-10 and Lockheed L1011 aircraft. Is anybody else seeing the same pattern I am? That’s right, the airlines flying old planes are doomed. Northwest, they’re coming for you.
